Travel guide for free travel in Hokkaido

Many people have been to Hokkaido, but many small partners are still preparing to go, so Xiaobian presents dry goods prepared for everyone. I've got everything ready for you about changing the visa, transportation, preparation before departure, and telephone calls. Are you moved?

Hokkaido is very suitable for traveling in summer. Compared with the hot temperature of 38 degrees in Suzhou, Shanghai, the weather in Hokkaido is really comfortable at around 28 degrees. You should wear short sleeves and trousers during the day and add a thicker coat and trousers when you go out at night.

Banks: 9am-3pm from Monday to Friday, shops and supermarkets: 9am-6pm in small towns.

Hokkaido city business district is 9am-9pm, and some of it is 10am-10pm. The tax refund is basically a refund of 5,400 yen and 8% consumption tax, but a handling fee of 1.1% is charged. EAST has several levels of policy, and you can get a 5% discount if you show your passport directly. If the tax refund is made directly at the payment office on each floor, the cash will be returned. But general goods and consumables are calculated separately. On the other hand, Daimaru Department Store presents its passport at the service office on the first floor to get a preferential list, which is also 15% off, but there are regulations on which goods cannot be discounted. The tax refund is also calculated separately for general goods and consumables, but it can be accumulated in many places, and can be calculated together in one day, and the tax refund can be made at the 7 th floor. There are many shops outside the security checkpoint in new chitose airport, so it's better not to buy too many, because the things bought here should not be portable on the plane. According to the regulations of China Eastern Airlines, there can only be one piece of hand luggage, and the inspection is very strict. New chitose airport doesn't need to check the duty-free goods one by one, just tear off the tax bill and put it in the box they prepared.

Get on the bus from the back door. There is a ticket dispenser by the door. Everyone takes a sorting ticket. The sorting ticket has a code and records the station where you get on the bus. At the same time, the fare from boarding to the current station will be displayed on the screen at the front of the carriage, and the fare will move forward one grid for each additional station. Get off the bus and go to the front door, put the sorting coupons into the box next to the driver's seat, and put the corresponding ticket money into the coin slot. You can only use 50 or 100 coins for coin insertion. There is also a change machine next to the coin box, so you can change the money when you put the paper money in.

Note (Summer is also the peak season of Hokkaido's own tourist area, so the hotel reservation in Meiying must be early)

After arriving in Hokkaido, take out your printed itinerary directly, and then at the JR service center, the service staff will introduce you to the most economical and suitable pass.

For the time and frequency of JR's ride, you can check the two apps, googlemap and in-case transfer, which can't be used in China, but they are unimpeded abroad.

In addition to hotel staff, Japanese English is generally a foreign language with a Japanese accent, so words are far more effective than sentences in communication, and we should pay attention to using more body language and learn to understand.

Passport, ID card, charging treasure, charger, eye mask, adapter, camera, notebook, water cup, pen, medicine (mother-eater, berberine, Zuo Ke, cephalosporin, thermometer, triamcinolone acetonide, VC, bupleurum, Radix Isatidis, whole intestine), clothes.

There are direct flights from Shanghai to Hokkaido. But because we saved the cost, we chose the red-eye flight connecting in Tokyo. Go to Tokyo after a sleep. Tokyo will transfer to Sapporo. The price is naturally much cheaper than direct flights.

Japan's visas have been opened more and more now. I remember that going to Japan for a visa in 2009 required a lot of materials, various certificates and bank deposits, which felt very troublesome. And this time, the Japanese visa is really simple to my surprise. Because we had a lot of Schengen visas and 10-year visas in the United States before, this visa only provided basic personal information and work certificates.

In fact, Japanese visa seems to be one of the relatively complicated visas for Chinese people, and there are many things to be asked, but it's actually okay if you clear your mind.

There are three kinds of daily visas for tourism purposes: single visa, multiple visas for three years and multiple visas for five years.

A single visa requires the least things, although it is also quite troublesome, such as air tickets, hotel orders, ID cards, household registration books and work certificates.

I have asked for more many times in three years, but it has been simplified recently. If I have been to Japan before, I need an annual salary of 10W.

RMB, if you haven't been to Japan, you need 20W, and you need a tax bill stamped by the tax bureau. You can't write a sentence directly in the work certificate. The most important thing is to stay in Okinawa or Fukushima or Sendai or Iwate for at least one night during the whole trip. In fact, it's just to stimulate the economy of those places ~ to meet these conditions, you can provide everything at the first time, and you can enter and leave at will within three years after the visa comes down, so you don't have to run for a visa every time ~

For more than five years, the discount is better than that for more than three years. This does not require previous experience in Japan, and it does not require staying there. Moreover, you can enter and leave casually within five years after signing the contract ~ ~ The only way to compare that, after tax, income, 50W.

RMB。 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In Beijing's consular district, a single visa costs 288 yuan each, which is still quite cheap ~ The previous two visas were handled at his home, and the customer service is relatively reliable. Although many people who ask questions may not be able to return in a few minutes, once they start to return to you, they can basically continue the conversation.

Moreover, regarding the required materials, the online store links are also quite clear, so just prepare them as they are.

After getting everything ready, just send it to his physical store. Near Jianguomen, there will be a preliminary examination within a day or two after they receive it, and then call you to inform you if you need to supplement the materials. If there is no need to add, they will hand it up to the embassy.

Generally, it will be within 10 working days from the time they pass the preliminary examination to the actual signing. Our actual time seems to be about 8 working days. We will call you after signing the contract. You can choose to pick it up or let them express it by SF Express.

As a whole, it is still a reliable store, and the price is already cheaper in the Taobao store in Beijing's collar area. Even if there are some cheaper ones, it is very limited. It is better to choose this bigger and more reliable one. It was other friends who signed the recommendation here before.

Hokkaido is dry and cold, and I didn't feel particularly cold when I got there. However, the exposed skin should still pay attention to protecting the cold. Except gloves and hats and scarves. Be sure to bring ski pants and professional anti-skid shoes for children. Because children will be very, very excited when they see snow. It's the kind that goes straight into the snow. (Please forgive the parents who have seen the world in the north ~ haha) If you don't wear a professional, you will still get wet and catch cold. Also remember sunscreen, the reflective ultraviolet rays in the snow are invisible to the skin.

I recommend a website for all traffic in Hokkaido.

; Unfortunately, there are only English and Japanese. All the bus routes in Hokkaido can be booked on it. For example, if we want to go to TOMAMU Resort after getting off the plane, we can book the bus directly on this webpage. Including going to Xushan Zoo, even the price is not cheap. Maybe JR is even cheaper. We took the children and boxes, so we spent more money to book the bus.

1) Ash machine

There are only Air China flights from Beijing to Sapporo. . . sweat

In addition, Hakodate and Asahikawa seem to have individual direct flights, but not so many, depending on your needs.

Anyway, the sooner you buy a plane ticket, especially during the Spring Festival, the cheaper it will always be. . . I probably bought the ticket for the Spring Festival in February in September, and it has already included 5000+ tax for the round trip. The later, the more expensive it is. . . . .

As for the others. . . .

Although it is a masturbation, Air China still has no in-flight entertainment system, and the meal is still screaming.

Nothing can be done. Who told ANA and JAL not to fly directly to nie T_T

2) Inter-city traffic-JR

JR's full name is Japan

Railway is the largest transportation company in Japan, right? The Shinkansen is owned by his family, and there are many lines between cities, including rail transit in some big cities, and even bus is owned by his family.

At the same time, JR company has launched a special program called JR for foreign tourists.

PASS is simply a pass. Depending on the length of time you buy, you can take any means of transportation under JR at will for several consecutive days specified by yourself (there are individual lines and all the express trains on the Shinkansen, and you need to make up the difference). Besides, according to the range you can use, JR

PASS is divided into national, Kansai, East Japan, Hokkaido and blabla.

Whether the specific JRPASS value is worth it depends on how much you use it.

For example, JR Hokkaido sells a kind of "Hokkaido Pass", which is divided into three consecutive days, five days, seven days, and four days in 10 days. I basically have three relatively long distances this time, namely Sapporo-Hakodate; Hakodate-Nan Chitose; Nanchitose-Kushiro Road, and these three sections are concentrated in two days. Plus, the 3-day coupon sells for 22000JPY, and these three sections are basically around 9000JPY for one way, so I decisively bought the 3-day coupon.

In addition, the above three paragraphs are swollen for another day in two days, so why not do it? ~ ~ This is also the reason why I arranged Otaru's line at the front date-JR was used directly on the day between Sapporo and Otaru.

PASS, although it's actually not much money ~

In addition, when you buy JRPASS, you can also specify the designated seats for the trains you need.

This involves the seats on Japanese trains.

Some trains in Japan, especially short-distance trains or feeder trains, just like domestic subways, take a first-come-first-served ride. However, on some long-distance routes, there may be several cars called "free seats" in a train, which is similar to first come, first served; Other cars are called "designated seats", which is similar to sitting in the right place. If you have a JR Hokkaido Pass, you can take the JR line in Hokkaido at will, and you can directly book tickets for designated seats for free. As long as you want to make a reservation and there are empty seats, the service staff of JR will give you the ticket with the seat number, and it will be ok when you check the ticket on the bus later ~ But if you don't reserve the designated seats, you can only hold JR.

PASS pulled into the station, and then tried my luck in the free-seat car.

As long as it's not the kind of person who doesn't know when to leave depending on the mood, but if the long-distance trip has been decided, why not change the designated seats in advance ~ ~ ~

In addition, I have to say, especially the Sapporo-Hakodate route is still very popular. If you don't book the designated seats in advance, you need to queue up at the free seats on the platform really early, or wait for 4 hours. . . . . . . .

3) Zun Welcomepass

This is actually something I don't actually use ~

1700JPY, including a one-day ticket for the subway in Sapporo City, and any train that takes the Sapporo-Otaru section indefinitely on a certain day ~

Actually, it's still worth it ~ but it's a pity that I was going to use JRPASS that day, so I didn't use it.

Friends can consider it if they need it ~

This time, there are some expensive and cheap accommodations, some good meals, and some places where you can only sleep. Make a list for your reference.

1)SPAHOTELソ_レすすきの

It's actually a capsule hotel. . .

But I have to say that this capsule attempt was a great success ~ ~

As you can see in the previous travel notes, the capsule hotel really has everything. In fact, I obviously like capsules better than many people in youth travel ~

However, the disadvantages of capsules are also obvious-first, there is no separate room, so you can only live in capsules; Second, most capsule hotels in Japan don't accept female guests-

But at the same time, it was really cost-effective and cheap. I stayed for two days, totaling 5400JPY, including breakfast.

2)LaVistaHakodateBay/ラビスタ letter _ベィ

Worth a little recommendation.

It should also be the most well-known hotel in Hakodate, claiming to be the first hotel in Japan for breakfast. It's really good ~

The location is also ok. It is basically in the middle of Hakodate JR Station and Hakodate Mountain Cable Car Mountaineering Station, and it is also very close to the Dickinson Warehouse. You can directly see Hakodate Mountain when you are bathing ~

Cost-effective, even if it's okay, 9650JPY a night, it should be said that it's a relatively normal hotel, so you can try it for breakfast. Anyway, Hakodate doesn't seem to have many other distinctive accommodations. .

3)ComfortHotelKushiro

Just staying at Kushiro for one night. This hotel is very good.

It's 2 minutes' walk from JR Station. It's very cheap, the room is normal and the cost performance is very high. It's only 3500JPY a night

4) ぁかん _ のの _ Ya

Crane Ya should be familiar to Chinese people. After a movie "If You Are the One"

Heya Group has three hotels in Lake Ahan, and this is the cheapest one. . . Well, you don't have to live alone. Feel it.

One night at 16666JPY, including dinner and buffet breakfast.

Is the dinner okay? The taste is not bad, but in view of the really delicious Huaishi cuisine in the next few days, the rectification can only be like that.

Breakfast is not bad, there are many kinds.

In addition, Heya's big bathroom is ok, especially the one on the first floor, and the outdoor scenery is ok.

5)PensionJacatra

Wall crack recommended! ! ! ! !

Meiying's homestay is actually in the middle of Meiying and Meima Niu, about 6 kilometers away from Meiying Station.

The B&B can pick up the station, but only at a fixed time every day, at the above two stations at 3, 4 and 5 pm respectively. Outside this time, you can only take a taxi by yourself ~ drivers know it, 6 kilometers is about 2000JPY. . . .

The biggest feature of this homestay is that you can sign up for the daytime phototour in winter ~ ~ ~

There are many beautiful places near Meiying, but it is definitely not possible to lean on your legs, let alone in winter. So having a car becomes extremely important ~

At this time, the benefits of Jacatra are reflected ~

There is official website in the hotel, which can be booked three months in advance. When booking, you have to pay a deposit of 1500JPY, and the rest will be ok when you return to the site.

My own words are 8200JPY a night, plus one phototour4000JPY.

Phototour starts at 9: 00 in the morning, and will take you to a place to eat at noon. The taste is OK and the price is normal. After eating, I will send you back to Meiying JR Station before 2: 00 ~

6) B&B.

The homestay in Furano is also cost-effective. Many people come to ski here. They go out to skate directly with their boards and shoes during the day and come back to sleep at night ~

The boss is an uncle, and his English is not bad ~ it's not far from JR Furano Station, and it's only six or seven minutes' walk. Take your time, 4100JPY does not include meals a night, and the price is good ~

7)InternationalHostelKhaosanSapporo

The only homestay I stayed in this time was in Sapporo, and it took me more than 10 minutes to walk to the west of Boye subway station. It was not difficult to find, but it was just a normal youth tour.

As I said just now, if a boy lives in multiple rooms, he might as well live in capsules. . . . A bed in a youth hostel is even more expensive than a capsule-_-

There are roughly two ways to surf the Internet in Japan: buying a phone card and renting a portable wifi.

1) Buy a phone card. Before, China Unicom and Japan forgot which operator had launched a cherry blossom card. It was a fire for a while, but now the most popular card should be b-mobile. This is an ordinary mobile phone SIM card. You can choose the card size to adapt to different mobile phone models. This card generally has a total traffic of 1G (there are more). It is valid for 30 days from the card opening date, so you can use it directly as an ordinary SIM card. Legend has it that the signal is also good and you can't make calls.

In addition, this card has one of the biggest advantages, that is, because there are enough people using it, it is convenient to transfer the unused time and traffic to the next person when you run out. Generally, the comments of the taobao store that bought the card can be directly, or there are many WeChat official account who follow the comments in Weibo. Before I checked, I said that basically I can transfer it out in 1-2 days after sending the transfer post.

This 1G 30-day card is about 200RMB. If one card is transferred to two people at a time, it will cost about 100 yuan per person. Or if everyone's time is 7-10 days, three people will spend an average of 70 yuan per person, which is still very cost-effective. Legend has it that there used to be the best relay to the fifth best, which of course also shows that everyone's time in Japan is not very long. . . .

However, this kind of card seems to have certain restrictions on mobile phones. On the one hand, it must be WCDMA 3G standard, on the other hand, it cannot be a dual-card dual-standby mobile phone.

So I was gloriously passed. . . You can only choose the next one.

2) Rent a portable wifi

This is actually very mature. There are many stores on taobao, and most of them can pick up the plane at a fixed location at the airport on the day of departure. They will give you the wifi machine, charger and deposit receipt, and then return it at the airport when you come back from Japan, and refund the deposit on the spot (or swipe the credit card for pre-authorization, and release it when you return the machine).

If the price is different from store to store in taobao, I directly tmall the cheapest one among the ones with the highest sales volume this time, at 8 yuan a day, which is still very cheap. Even in the ravine of Daoyang, there is generally no problem with the signal ~

If you pick up the plane, it depends on which one you booked. I picked it up at a certain counter after the security check, and I also picked it up at some places before the security check. You need to look at this carefully.

As for how long I can use it, in fact, I don't have much say, because I only use it by myself, and I often turn off the wifi when I know the way, so I never have a situation where I go out halfway in the morning and there is no electricity, and I will charge it every night. Generally speaking, I heard that it can be turned on for 6-8 hours after being fully charged, so it's no problem to save a day ~

But in any case, renting a wifi is quite convenient. The only inconvenience is that it is not directly installed in the mobile phone like a SIM card, but it needs to be put on this small suit in the or bag. It's not very big. It's ok for a boy to put it directly in his trouser pocket, but after all, it's necessary to always put more of this thing.

1) Warm taste! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

You can go to tabelog and check his house. In sapporo

Huaishi cuisine. The chef is very stylish ~ ~

Tabelog's taste score is 4.33, ranking first in Hokkaido and 50th in Japan.

By the way, it's Michelin Samsung

His family can't make an appointment online, so he can only call. It's ok for the clerk to make a reservation in English. If you are interested, just look for it on tabelog ~

The menu is uncertain every day, depending on what the freshest ingredients are at that time, which are divided into 10000 and 15000JPY. If you want to eat expensive food, you need to explain it at the time of booking ~

This is really the most praised Huaishi cuisine I have ever eaten. Although the ones I used to eat in those high-end traditional Japanese hotels are not bad, they are really weak compared with his family.

Super, super, super awesome No matter which file is true, it is super value! ! !

Strongly, strongly, strongly recommended! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

2) Shrimp and crab fight together

For details, you can see the part on February 7. Self-help of three kinds of crabs is delicious ~ ~ ~

3) Crabs in various seafood markets! ! !

Not much to say. King crab is absolutely delicious ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

4) Liuhua Pavilion ~

Sweet shop, there are branches in many places in Hokkaido. This shop is in Daiguang City, which is not a very famous place, but if you happen to pass by during your trip, you are advised to have a look ~ There will be some desserts limited by our store ~ ~

5) Yueyue

The taste of the food in this house is actually normal, not particularly amazing, but the geographical location is invincible! It's very close to Qianhan Station, a small building on the second floor by the sea, with a 180-degree sea view ~ ~ It's super comfortable to eat here ~ ~ ~

In fact, these are the things that impressed me the most when it comes to eating. There are some others that feel good, and they all rest in the travel notes to help themselves ~ ~

1. The land in Hokkaido is much wider than that in Tokyo or Osaka! When planning your trip, you should reserve more time. Hokkaido is the northernmost island in Japan, which occupies 22% of Japan's total land area, with 83,450 square meters, which is bigger than expected, and it is the well-deserved first place among all prefectures and counties in Japan. Iwate Prefecture (about 15,000 square meters), the second place in the northeast, only accounts for 4% of Japan's total area, so the vast land of Hokkaido is more than five times that of the second place, 37 times that of Tokyo and 44 times that of Osaka Prefecture. Sapporo, the entrance of Hokkaido, is located on the west side of Hokkaido, which is called Daoyang, about 50km away from new chitose airport. Moving between cities takes a lot of time, so you should reserve more time for moving when planning your trip. The distance from Sapporo to all parts of the road and the driving time are as follows: Sapporo Otaru is about 40 ㎞/about 45 minutes; Sapporo Tomono is about 115 ㎞/about 2 hours; Sapporo Asakawa is about 140 ㎞/about 1 hour and 50 minutes; Sapporo Hakodate is about 305 ㎞/about 4 hours and 15 minutes; Sapporo has a wide belt of about 215. It's just that there are not many flights, and express trams and intercity buses need to be reserved in advance. 2. Almost the same latitude as Toronto and new york! You need to put on your coat in the morning and evening in summer. Hokkaido is located at 41 ~ 45 north latitude.Europe is equivalent to south-central France to Spain, Italy to north-central, the United States is equivalent to new york, and Canadian is equivalent to Toronto. Although even at the same latitude, the climate will be different due to the influence of ocean currents, but it is common that they are all cold regions. The best sightseeing period in Sapporo is July to August in summer. The average temperature in July is 20.5℃ and that in August is 22.3℃, which is a light and pleasant climate. However, the temperature difference within a day is very large, and there are many days when the temperature is below 20℃ in the morning or at night. It is recommended to bring knitted coats, hooded coats and other coats to keep warm. In addition, the coldest time in Sapporo is January, and the average temperature is as low as MINUS 3.6℃. Be sure to bring down coats, coats, hats, gloves, scarves and other warm clothes. Hokkaido covers a vast area, and the temperature in each area varies greatly. Before you leave, you must investigate the temperature and get ready for clothes. 3. The metropolis of Hokkaido is a grid street distribution! You don't have to worry about Sapporo, the oldest city in Hokkaido, when you visit for the first time. It was conceived and started to be built during the Meiji period in Japan in 1869. Taking the grid street planning of Kyoto as a reference, Sapporo, which was originally a wilderness, was built into a big city now. At present, a Tonghe Chuangshengchuan in the south is divided into east, west and north, government agencies in the north, residential and commercial land in the south, factories in the east, and Datong Park is used as a fire line between the north and the south. Therefore, the roads in Sapporo are distributed in a grid, which is very easy to understand. The address, for example, "South 3 West 4 Dingmu", has the southeast, northwest and number.It is easy to find the right direction. Big cities such as Asahikawa and Daiguang are also the same lattice streets, so even the first-time visitors can quickly grasp the direction of the city. 4. The convenience store "Seicomart" in Hokkaido can be seen everywhere. Although there are 7-eleven, Lawson and other convenience stores in Hokkaido, the convenience store "Seicomart" in Hokkaido is the most frequently seen and has the largest number of stores. "Seicomart" has about 1,190 stores, and "Seico mart" can be seen from the city to the outlying islands. The signboard is orange background, with white Seicomart characters, and the inside of O is painted with immortal birds. A convenience store is a store that sells drinks, food, alcohol, books, stationery and other necessities, but "Seicomart" is special in that it also provides its own brand of milk, bread, soft drinks, ice cream, red wine and so on. Moreover, there are many kinds of home-cooked dishes in small packages, which are very suitable for eating when you are a little hungry. Some stores have kitchens, and they also sell food such as fried pork chops and rice balls, and many stores have seats for eating. In addition, instant noodles, seasonings and other commodities limited by Hokkaido have attracted many tourists to buy gifts here. Although the business hours vary from store to store, many of them are open 24 hours a day. Long queues of convenience stores! Seicomart, a convenience store that started in Hokkaido, 5. The food along the coast and inland is very different! Hokkaido has a vast land, so the local specialties and specialties are different.The coastal cities such as Hakodate, Otaru, Kushiro, Netwalk and Zhichuang are mainly seafood dishes. However, even if they are both coastal areas, the seafood that can be caught in the Pacific Ocean and the sea side of Okhotsk are different. Even if they are all along the sea side of Okhotsk, the types of seafood that are abundant in different places are different, such as the specialty of Hakodate is squid, Otaru is Pippi shrimp and sea urchin, Kushiro is saury, Netwalk and Yudenglu of Zhichuang Peninsula is salmon. However, they are all inland, but the dairy industry in Shisheng area is prosperous, and dairy products such as cheese and yogurt are local specialties. At the same time, there are also edible cattle and brand beef named after the place names of various regions. The famous ones are Meiying Cattle, Furano and Cattle, Zonggu Cattle, Bailao Cattle and Yakumo Cattle.
